(2. Processing operation)
Next, the processing operation of the system shown in FIG. 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, a user designates and accesses an address of a Web page published by the Web server 200 (S1). Then, the Web server 200 receives and acquires the IP address of the access source user terminal 100 together with the Web page browsing request (S2). When the Web server 200 acquires the browsing request, the Web page extracting unit 220 extracts the corresponding Web page from the Web page storage unit 210 according to the acquired browsing request. Then, the Web page extracting unit 220 further extracts the document data included in the extracted Web page, and transmits it to the conversion server 300 together with the IP address of the access source user terminal 100 that acquired the document data (S3).

  When the conversion server 300 receives the document data and the IP address of the access source user terminal 100 (S4), first, the word conversion unit 330 refers to the regional IP address storage unit 310 with the received IP address and responds. An area is specified (S5). Subsequently, the word conversion means 330 converts the received document data into a dialect corresponding to the specified area (S6). Specifically, morphological analysis is performed on the received standard word document data to separate each word, and by referring to the regional word storage means 320 in the area identified as each word, the corresponding dialect word is extracted. In this way, the entire standard language document data is converted into the document data of the specified region. After converting the document data into a dialect, the conversion server 300 transmits the document data converted into the dialect to the Web server 200 (S7).

  When the Web server 200 receives the document data converted into a dialect from the conversion server 300 (S8), the Web page transmission unit 230 generates a Web page including the received document data (S9). Specifically, the process of replacing the document data portion of the Web page extracted in S3 with the received dialect is performed. Subsequently, the Web page transmission unit 230 transmits the Web page in which the document data is replaced with a dialect to the access source user terminal 100 (S10).

  When the user terminal 100 receives a Web page in which the document data is replaced with a dialect from the Web server 200 (S11), the user terminal 100 displays the Web page on the screen of the user terminal 100 (S12).

  As described above, the user can browse the information on the site in a language corresponding to the area where he / she lives, simply by accessing the desired site without having to access the translation site. it can.

  As described above, when a user accesses the Web server 200 and requests a Web page, the document is automatically displayed corresponding to the region. For this reason, if the user is not from the area, it may be inconvenient. In such a case, when the user wants to read in the standard language, it is possible to switch to the standard language notation. In this case, the standard word notation request is transmitted from the user terminal 100 to the Web server 200 in the state displayed in the dialect as in S12.

  When the Web server 200 receives the standard word notation request from the user terminal 100, the Web page extracting unit 220 extracts the corresponding Web page from the Web page storage unit 210 in accordance with the acquired standard word notation request. Then, the Web page transmission unit 230 transmits the extracted Web page to the requesting user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 receives a Web page in standard language from the Web server 200, the user terminal 100 displays it on the screen using a normal browser function. As a result, the screen of the user terminal 100 is switched from dialect notation to standard language notation.

  In either case of dialect notation or standard language notation, a document is usually indicated using kanji, hiragana or the like. In such a state, it is also possible to switch all the notations to hiragana notation. In this case, a hiragana notation request is transmitted from the user terminal 100 to the web server 200 in a state where the dialect notation and the standard language notation are made.

  When the Web server 200 receives the hiragana notation request from the user terminal 100, the Web page extracting unit 220 extracts the corresponding Web page from the Web page storage unit 210 in accordance with the acquired hiragana notation request. Then, the web page extracting unit 220 further extracts document data included in the extracted web page and transmits it to the conversion server 300.

  When the conversion server 300 receives the document data, the conversion server 300 converts the kanji in the received document data into hiragana. Specifically, kanji is extracted from the received standard word document data, and converted to hiragana using a dictionary (kanji-hiragana conversion table) in the conversion server 300. After converting the kanji in the document data into hiragana, the conversion server 300 transmits the document data converted into hiragana to the web server 200.

  When the Web server 200 receives the document data converted into hiragana from the conversion server 300, the Web page transmission unit 230 generates a Web page including the received document data (S9). Specifically, a process of replacing the document data portion of the Web page extracted from the Web page storage unit 210 with the received hiragana is performed. Subsequently, the Web page transmission unit 230 transmits the Web page in which the document data is replaced with hiragana to the access source user terminal 100 (S10).

  When the user terminal 100 receives a hiragana web page from the web server 200, the user terminal 100 displays it on the screen using a normal browser function. Thereby, the screen of the user terminal 100 is switched from the kanji kana-mixing notation to the hiragana notation.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, the Web server 200 and the conversion server 300 are connected via a dedicated line.
